RNA-mediated in vivo Directed Evolution in Yeast
Directed evolution is a powerful approach to obtain genetically-encoded sought-for traits. Compared to the prolonged adaptation regimes to mutations occurring under natural selection, directed evolution unlocks rapid screening and selection of mutants ...

Towards the Directed Evolution of Artificial Metalloenzymes
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) are a class of enzymes holding great promise. In contrast to natural enzymes, the core of ArMs is a synthetic metallocofactor, with potential for bio-orthogonal reactivity, incorporated within a host protein.
